Martial Arts Schools near Somerville

“I feel all I really need to say is my son Casey has been going to this school for 12 YEARS! It is by far one of the best decisions we've made for him by far! The staff is incredible and extremely dedicated.“

“Powertraining Taekwondo is fantastic! My 7 and 5-year-old daughters absolutely love it. Master Kown is amazing with kids making learning fun and engaging. They're building confidence and discipline while having a blast. 5 stars!“

“FMA is on another level when it comes to Martial Arts studios for littles and adults!

The instructors are highly skilled, they are passionate about teaching, connect in a special way with every student, always challenging the students to push the boundaries and be their best, while nurturing them and creating a comfortable environment where respect for themselves and others are central. Our children’s and our own confidence and perseverance have been significantly improved since we joined FMA.

As if all that were not enough, the FMA community is truly special. All students support each other and it’s beautiful to see all the friendships that form and strengthen with every practice, every competition and every event. We never thought of Martial Arts as a “team sport”, but seeing how everyone supports each other, celebrate each others victories and gather together to uplift anyone who needs it during the regional and national competitions is one of my favorite things in the FMA community!

We love our Ms Amber, Ms McKensie, Master Freeman and now Mr Joey. And of course, Mr Shakoor whom we’ll always be grateful to for his influence on our kids. Their positive impact on our family is something we cherish every day. So when searching for a martial arts studio, look no further, Freedom Martial Arts!“

“I've been training with Kristen for the past few months and I am thrilled with the results! Her expertise and enthusiasm make each session both challenging and enjoyable. She always tailors the workouts to my personal goals and fitness level, and I've noticed significant improvements in my strength and stamina. Kristen’s positive attitude and encouragement really motivate me to push through even the toughest exercises. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a real change in their fitness journey. She's not just a trainer, but a true motivator and coach!“

“my son was going here and earned his yellow belt I had to stop lessons due to moving and me being pregnant but we loved it here and recently been thinking of reenrolling him and my youngest master nicks is amazing“

“I was doing taekwondo for nearly 10 years and the instructors are very nice and it’s a nice location. I love master Kim.“

“We have had such a wonderful experience at kickside martial arts. My son is on the autism spectrum, and from the very beginning the instructors truly met him where he is. They are patient, understanding, and incredibly encouraging, taking the time to help him learn at his own pace while still motivating him to grow.

What has meant the most to us is the way they have helped build his confidence. He feels proud of himself after each class, more motivated to try new things, and excited to keep improving. The structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement have made a huge difference for him.

Beyond the martial arts training, this studio has created a genuine sense of community. My son feels accepted, supported, and like he truly belongs. We are so grateful to be part of such a welcoming environment and highly recommend this studio to any family looking for more than just martial arts, but a place where kids are valued and encouraged to succeed.“

“BJJ is helping my son to build focus and self-discipline. Coach Pat has high but achievable expectations. He treats every child as if they are his own, and I can see that he wants them to grow their martial arts skills and succeed. Try a demo class.“

“One of the best instructors in the business. Sensei Ed is not only a master at his art but he is a master instructor. What he does for his clients is amazing. He reaches all ages equally. This is an amazing place to study the skill of Martial arts.“

“Best place to train for all ages and skill levels. Master Al is the best in the business. New location is fantastic.“

“Mr. O is a great teacher. My kids love his classes and look forward to going to every session.“

“I've been going here for almost eight years now and it's great for many reasons. You get to join a polity and welcoming community while getting into shape. Overall a great place to go to.“

“Awesome place for kids and adults! I was iffy joining at first since MMA was so new to me, but everyone makes you feel very welcomed and included- I’ve been at Hybrid now for 2+ years and absolutely love going. If I could go everyday I would!! Master Mike the main instructor has great energy and is immensely helpful, kind, and encouraging. Him and other instructors push you to be better mentally and physically, and work closely with everyone to make sure they are doing moves correctly. Classes are always so much fun, a great workout, and different every time you go. I highly recommend Hybrid!!“

“Our kids love TMMA. The masters are great in teaching taekwondo and motivating the kids with little stickers, but also pay attention to social skills as respect and values.Also, they strictly adhere to all Covid protocols, with small classes, masks, hand desinfection before/after the training etc.The lessons and belt tests can also be accessed via zoom, so parents (and other family members) can see how their kids progress.With every successfull belt test comes not only a new belt color, but also a trophy, which our kids are very proud of and love to display in their rooms. I can highly recommend this school!“

“Grand Master Lee is awesome. His teaching of Hapkido, breathing techniques and cardio training is fun and a great way towards a healthy lifestyle.“
